Leif, thanks, that is very helful! As soon as I finish basic bodywork I'll try to modify the chassis to resamble the real one as much as possible.

Here are my MOCs and WIP: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=101806&hl= http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=101819&hl=

They can slip, but only if the wheels are pullled downwards by force (not big though), which is not a natural car handling . There is very little risk of slip, when they hang freely.

Zblj, what do you mean by "front springs sliding out"? Yeah, 5,5L will work great, thanks. Nalyd997, the plan is to "swap" (easily said than done ) the McPherson with new live axle. There is no other color option apart from "Camel" , and I even hope I have enough bricks.

Here is the link to my WIP http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=101819 Do you know how can I post big images, but like miniatures not exceeding the pixel limit?

!!PROJECT IS ABANDONED AND DISCONTINUED!! Hi everyone! I'd like to present to you my WIP Land Rover Defender 90. First, some explanations. The goal was to make pretty accurate car with two live axles, 2 gears (slow and fast) and 2 differential locks (middle and rear). I started from scrolling throug Unimog instruction to get some inspiration. The first try at building chassis was successful, but the steering tended to break and gears slipped (PF Servo in the middle of chassis, PF XL on front). Both differential locks, based on Sariels minimalistic differential lock, worked correctly (sorry, no photos). So I rebuilded everything with Servo on front axle on two PF L in the middle. Still I wasn't satisfied with front and gears slipped . Then came the third version with PF XL on the back, good gears design and front independent suspension (differential locks were ditched in the process). But... The basic TLG double whishbone suspension (3 and 5 studs high) tend to be wobbly if assembled poorly (read: assembled by me ), especially with big wheels. I got pissed of and in result dug the internet in search for something good. Finally I ended up with nicjasnos' McPherson suspension. It works perfectly btw . To summarize this a bit long introduction, Land Rover now has front independend McPherson suspension, live axle on back, 2 gears and 4WD with PF XL motor, no differential locks. Without the locks it's pretty unusable in terrain, but runs smoothly on flat. And now the meat part, photos! The plan is to make the bodywork detachable in case I want to improve both cassis and body separately. Also it'd be great to make front live axle with portal axle and correct kingpin inclination and positive caster angle, and both differential locks switched with PF M motors. Please write any suggestions and comments!

Thanks for the kind words. I still have much to improve, and many bricks to collect . Hope I'll have time to finish my next creation as soon as possible.

Hello everyone! I'm new here, and i'd like to share with you my past MOCs. Sorry for the bad picture quality. They where taken with my mobile phone, only for Instagram. As of now I'll take picture with my DSLR . So, here we go chronically: First up is a Willys MB. It's 4WD, as I recall correctly, with 2 cilinder engine under the hood. Hood is openable (not shown on pictures ). No steering though. Couldn't fit it in there.. Maybe I'll build it one more time. http://i.imgur.com/SpHYuJE.jpg http://i.imgur.com/l3EOAUs.jpg Second one is a Toyota forklift (build with my brother). It had one PF L motor with 3 functions: raising the fork, tilting whole arm and front wheel drive. Steering was manual. http://i.imgur.com/QWszmab.jpg http://i.imgur.com/K9H2SaV.jpg Third one is a short bus (also built with my brother). It had a really cool system for opening doors, mimicing the one from real busses (no video though ). http://i.imgur.com/MWzUw9d.jpg http://i.imgur.com/rcYbZ8b.jpg http://i.imgur.com/wpo5oqd.jpg http://i.imgur.com/pH9ohj2.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Z02NqAI.jpg Next one is a Scania based dump truck in scale to 42030 Volvo L350F Loader. It featured pendular suspension on every axle. The middle axle did not have suspension springs . Sadly the whole truck was wobbly as hell, especially with the dumping bed raised. The bed was raised with PF L motor and one big acutator. Funny part is that it looked like it had a rear wheel drive, but the drive shaft just ended under the cabin (there was no space for engine). The cabin was also openable, just like in real trucks. http://i.imgur.com/SWKJmgb.jpg Las one worth mentioning is a Baja truck. Fully motorized with PF Servo and PF XL motors. It features front independent suspension and this thingy something suspension on the back (see pictures below). The bodywork was easily detachable. It was a seperate constuction. http://i.imgur.com/fOedoUB.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Tkh24lk.jpg Of course all the models are already disassembled . Now I'm working on a bigger scale Land Rover Defender 90. I'll post a link to the topic, when I'll create it. [EDIT] Here it is http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=101819 Any comments are welcome. Hope you had fun scrolling through this .

Hello! My name is Maciej, and i'm an amateur MOC builder. I mainly build Technic studless. I'm here to share my creations and hopefully get some feedback and some tips to improve them. [EDIT] Here are my MOCs and WIP: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=101806&hl= http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=101819&hl=

Let's see how this images work. http://i.imgur.com/SpHYuJE.jpg Edit by Pandora: You successfully posted the image! Yay! Unfortunately it was massive, so I've reverted it to a link. As mentioned, check the site guidelines (in the first post, in the welcome thread and my signature) to make sure the image you're (all) posting isn't too big. Thanks.
